I hope you find one, Mike. I sold my car and waited 8 months for one of
those last MUSA built 58cm Atlantis in the age of true temper leaving the
steel market. I haven’t regretted it for a day. They are truly  magical
bikes.

Steve, I went through the same thing and tried the 59cm Atlantis because my 
friend was selling it for a good deal. It was big for me but I made it 
workfor two weeks, then I sold it. Now I have the 55cm, which fits me 
well although I am still working out the reach and bar setup. TBH, I know 
the OP Mike and I know he would fit the MIT 59cm (55/56 would be too 
small).

[RBW] Re: WTB: 59 MIT Atlantis

2020-04-05 Thread Steve Cole 
Michael,

Not long ago, I too looked for an Atlantis.  I was to have been my third 
bike from Rivendell.  My PBH is 86 cm and my other Rivendell bikes are a 59 
cm Homer and a 58 cm Simpleone. Since both of these bicycles fit extremely 
well, naturally I thought the right size for the Atlantis I wanted would be 
59 cm.  I learned the hard way that I was wrong.

I wanted a new MIT Atlantis, particularly a 59 cm.  Not only did I think it 
would be similar in size to my other bikes, but I loved the arched second 
top tube, which was not available on smaller frames. I went ahead and 
bought a used 59 cm frame from another lister.  As it turns out that the 
sizing of  Atlantis models has changed, and I was unaware of this.  While I 
would like have been right with a 59 cm if I was seeking a used Toyo or 
Waterford Atlantis, my size for the new MIT Atlantis is a 55 cm.  The MIT 
Atlantis is "stretched out" compared to previous models.  It has a longer, 
slanted top tube and longer chain stays.  This added length and the slanted 
top tube means that measuring the size of the bike by the seat tube can be 
misleading when compared to the earlier Atlantis models that had parallel 
or nearly parallel top tubes.  I was lucky.  I learned this before the 
seller had even shipped me the 59 cm.  He was kind enough to refund my 
payment and had no trouble finding another buyer.

You may be looking for one of the older models.  If so, nevermind.  If, 
however, you are looking for an MIT Atlantis, I hope my experience is 
helpful to you.
